Possibly the NG episode "Drumhead"? An admiral makes it a personal mission to "root out evil" and tries a half-Romulan man who said he was half Vulcan to be allowed into Starfleet. Piccard puts her in her place. George

But not "Dumberer"! You're up again, Dooj! George

Did you mean this? It was from WordWolf and the "Chris Geer Arrested?" thread: Now that we've had a chance to laugh about it, I'd like to point out something that may be obvious to those of us who use Google constantly. Google's searches (and most search engines) are dependent upon keywords, and upon number of links pointing to that site in reference to that word. That's why one fun prank is the "Google hijack." Get enough people to link to a particular page, and it comes up as the first result, which means that when you hit "I'm feeling lucky" and get sent to the first result, you'll get that page. Example One: during the whole "are there weapons of mass destruction" controversy, if you typed in "weapons of mass destruction" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you got a page that was designed to resemble a Google searchpage, saying "weapons of mass destruction" was not found, and giving options to search another country and whatever. It actually fooled some people even when they expected a prank. Example Two: This one still works. If you type in "french military victories" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you get another mock Google page saying "french military victories" were not found, and offer to search for "French military defeats" instead. That page goes to a partial list of French military history- just the defeats- written and run by a Canadian. Example Three: This one still works. If you type in "miserable failure" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you will get a certain legitimate webpage that was not made-up for a joke. The joke is in the search and the result. I'll let you run the search yourself and see. http://www.google.com ============ Ok, the part that doesn't affect users, but affects site-owners, is that they can't make other people link to their site- which would raise their listing in searches, which would direct more traffic to them, which means more money to paid sites like pr0n and stuff. So, they can't drive their traffic that way, so they figured out they could drive their traffic the other way. Every month, there's a list of most commonly-searched-for items. (It's on Google somewhere.) So, the site owners took a lot of words that ranked in searches, and began sticking them somewhere in their site. You can tell because some searches will show you the item you're searching for in a long list of names, or random words, and not in a sentence or anything. (Often, they'll be alphabetized in a stack of similar names or words.) Personally, I don't think it's particularly successful (It doesn't lure ME to their sites), but since it costs them little to add that to their pages, and they seem to have no penalty for doing it, I expect that they'll keep doing it for a long time. So, since certain names get searched for online, eventually, some site operators have grabbed them off the lists and just shoved them into abstract blocks of text they dump onto their sites. It says nothing about the content of the sites, nor about the names they used. I hope I didn't spoil anyone's fun TOO much. George By the way, how does one link another post?

Funny, but certainly not the funniest in MY estimation. Virtually an y Mel Brooks film and all EARLY Woody Allen flics were funnier. George

Who ARE those guys? George

Right, WW. George

Hey, Hottie! I didn't realize you were such a YOUNG whippersnapper! Have a sensational birthday! Wish you could make the BBQ. George

Moved ME! George

Good one, Dooj (even without the last pic)! George

New Greaser? :D Congratulations! He's a beaut! George

Sogwap. Whenever I felt lonely or opressed, Psalm 34 always brought me courage. [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing]. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry. The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. Let me know when you're feeling better, and I'll PM you a funny story in relation to this. George

I have no idea what Sudo's talking about. I would, however, like to see the other Rita Hayworth clip. George

Sogwap, I've never been in your shoes, but I can sympathize. There's a lot of hurt out there. (Can you say "SATAN"?) But there's a lot of good out there, too. How well do you know your neighbors? Some people go years without knowing the names of the people who live next door. Knock on a door, and say Hi. (Hopefully, that won't bring back bad witnessing memories!) Remember, your best friends were perfect strangers at one time. And, yes, get professional help. I certainly don't want to see your name pop up in one of those "What ever happened to..." threads. You're a Son (daughter) Of God With All Power! George

You're all in my prayers, too! It may be "Waybrain," but I believe that you and God make a majority! Keep up the fight. George

Chas, Love your posts, love your "radio interview." Hope to meet you someday (even before Christ returns). Have a wonderful birthday and many more! George

Yeah, Waters, be cool! George

We usually don't hear from Raf on the weekend, but I'm moving this up as a reminder, just in case he peeks in. George

Dooj, it's your turn! George
